Indeed. The opposition to the MWI is not really motivated by the

indeed be wrong in a technical sense but that's then unlikely to
strip the "many worlds" aspect of it away.
Sez people who like the idea of multiple worlds. Of course everyone
uses their intuition about what ideas to pursue. But only advocates
perceive it as opposition. Scientists perceive it as questioning.
One can indeed question the technical aspects of the MWI, like where the
Born is supposed to come from, but people tend to be motivated by
attacking the many world aspect of it, when that'something that can
equally well appear in other interpretations. For example, in collapse
interpretations of QM you are not guaranteed to not end up with a single
World. E.g. Copenhagen Interpretation in an infinite universe leads to a
de-facto MWI-like multiverse.
